I think there could be demand for the above. Whoever implements it could make some money.
That argument is nothing compared to some of the schemes/arguments I've seen Cornerstone promoting - and mainly getting away with without enquiry (or disclosure) over the years.
After every Panorama programme etc, I get some shady "Entrepreneur"/big thinker/self declared genius phoning me up with various schemes like this.
The "If Amazon can do it" line tends to be used by those with the greatest distance between their arrogance and their ability.
